  stolid.

  impassive.

  I would have told him that my schedule was already full, and he should go find himself another victim.

  i've been a member of this board three years longer than i was a jehovah's witness (eighteen vs fifteen).

  i'm sure i've put in more hours here than i did in field service, it was more fun as well.

  anybody else with similar numbers?.

  I've been reading here since probably 2000. I've been an official member since 2002. Amazing how much time has gone by. 2020 is just around the corner! Soon! Any day now! (after December 31st, that is)

  those wanting a copy of this file.

  https://docdro.id/fllorzffile example:4. circuit overseer assistance arrangement: in harmony with the announcement to the congregation, please arrange for a resolution to be put to the congregation, authorising payment from congregation funds equivalent to £4.50/€5.00 per congregation publisher for the 2019 service year.

  if the body of elders believes the suggested amount would impose a hardship on the congregation, the resolved amount can be adjusted accordingly.. .

  Did you hear about Brother & Sister Moneyouttheazz? Why, they've moved south to "serve the where the need is greater."

  Seen this a good bit with those nearing retirement age. Coast of the Carolina's mostly. Huge homes with pools and large decks. Always the Elduh's with some sort of construction business. Sells it off, goes where the "need is greater" to retire and live like a King, in the "remaining System of Things."

  It is indeed a Cadillac. A 2002 or so STS. They are heaping expensive junk now. The NorthStar V8's turned to shit.

  Unlikely Place For a JW Reference

  by TD in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  probably a useless piece of trivia, but then i have a trivial mind..... unless i'm color blind, two of the band members in rammstein's recent music video, deutschland, are depicted as bible students.. from left to right, oliver riedel wears a pink triangle, (homosexual) paul landers wears a yellow star of david, (jewish) till lindemann wears a yellow & purple star of david (jewish bible student) and christian lorenz wears a simple purple triangle (gentile bible student).

  Caught that as well. The vid is pretty fuggin' brutal. Shocking, really. The one SS Guard has a Swastika armband. In Germany, anything like that is strictly forbidden, for fear of promoting it. Apparently Rammstein doesn't give a fugg.

  The Anointed Apostate: the Remarkable Sister Pettifog

  by TerryWalstrom in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  (on the anniversary of my jw best friend's death, i've reached into my archive to replay this incident in his honor)

  the remarkable sister *pettifog*.

  this morning i arrived on my bicycle at the local starbucks early and took up a seat at the outdoor table in the fresh air.. that’s when it happened--a group of 3 older ladies at one of the other tables outside rose to leave and one of them walked over to my table and spoke directly to me.

  Thank you for relating this story once again. Truly remarkable. I would LOVE to have seen the dear late sister's letter to the Elduh's and WTBTS. Can you imagine?

  Related to your story in a round about way.......I was probably born around the same time period of Sister Pettifrog's passing. According to the WTB&TS's "New Light", we're an "Overlapping Generation." SMH. What convoluted bullshit will these charlatans and false prophets come up with next?

  Jehovahs Witness n Retention rates !!! Check this out.

  by ZindagiNaMilegiDobaara in

  2. friends

  a study of religious retention rates–that is, what percentage of people raised in a particular church or religion stay with it when they are grown–is quite interesting.

  https://www.patheos.com/blogs/geneveith/2012/07/religious-retention-rates/.

  jdubs have alittle over 36%.

  Mormons at 70% retention? How old is this? I find that hella hard to believe considering the size of the Ex-Mormon sub over on Reddit. They are leaving in DROVES, far more than JW's even.

  If you aren't warming a seat in the Kingdumb Hell, than you might as well not exist in JW-Land. I know this to be true, because I experienced it.

  I just watched "Leaving Neverland." I'm pretty stunned. I mean, I knew MJ was not normal, but now I'm positive he groomed families and young boys to molest them. No doubt about it. He was a sick, evil, pedo-monster. He was probably molested himself as a child.
